We did the GT AWD. Got NAV and liftgate, moonroof package, and overhead DVD. MSRP was 40,415. Sales price was 36778. We opted to lease (42mos/12Kmiles/y). MF at this time was 0.00075 and residual of 48% (they used residual from MSRP rather than sales price, which I think works out even better for us). $595 was acquisition and $349 was processing/doc in VA. I know the cars and the lease duration and down payment isn't the same (we put down 1500 just so that the fees weren't capitalized in the lease), and that brought it to $504/month. Even without money down, it was about $540. The headrest DVD is a few hundred more but I think your payment is high and the car a little much b/c more than our AWD, but I could be wrong. We called around ALOT and they all hit this number within about 10 bucks. So, I don't know if this helps, but I think there's a bit of room to move down.

Thanks eastcoastpack. The dealer was offering 1.9 %, I didn't take it and chose to pay cash (my wife is going to kill me when she finds out )

Initial driving impressions..the CX9 truly handles like a car and ride is quiet but supple. Bose audio is fine - someone on an earlier post had expressed reservations about the sound quality but I don't see any issues. Not setup bluetooth yet, but should be a breeze.

ECP,The dealer was going to negotiate a higher selling price if I went with 1.9 % Since I was shooting for the lowest possible OTD, I didn't pursue the 1.9 %

Just came back from a 100 mile drive and the car performed great. Highway cruising speeds.. very quiet and smooth. I'm starting to like the backup camera feature a lot. With bluetooth there are some teething issues which I'm sure will be sorted out once I read the literature more closely.

Overall..I'm very happy with the car so far. Will update on the bluetooth in a couple of days.

Zavnet,I bought last weekend and got 11.4 % off MSRP or 1038 off invoice. Dealer said he's making absolutely nothing at this price and the only reason he sold was to meet a sales target for Nov which qualified him for extra cash reward from Mazda.

Oh absolutely not "feeling bad" for the dealer ;-) In my last post I forgot to add that I didn't believe a word when he claimed he's making a loss on the deal. Anyway to answer your question I chose the cash route since the dealer wasn't willing to give this price AND 1.9 %

Hi, I plan to buy a 2009 CX-9. There is only one 2009 model left in Houston, Tx. This one is the Sport FWD with 700 miles on it. The MSRP is $31,180. The OTD I quoted from the dealer is $27,068.65. What price do you think is the reasonable price I should start from?

But I cannot seem to find the remote controller for the DVD player or the two wireless headsets. Has the dealer forgotten to give them to me, or are they hidden somewhere in the car that I cannot find?!

mazda2010,Does the vehicle also have 1LG (powerliftgate) ? Would be easier to assess the offer if we knew the MSRP and INVOICE. In any case if 32,300 represents around 10 % off MSRP I think its a good deal.

Yes, I called the dealer today and I was told they probably forgot and I can go pick them up. I hope this was truly an innocent overlook on their part. But I don't have a very good feeling especially after I realize that they sell a simple remote controller and a pair of simple headphones for $150 each!!

And to answer your question, the DVD does fit nicely within the interior but I just got the car on Tuesday and have not yet had a chance to use it. That said, so far, I do like the ride, the navigation, Bose speakers, Bluetooth, and most of all, Blind Spot Monitoring. BSM is really cool and my wife loves it as it makes her much more confident when she is changing lanes on freeway.

No, the Nav/power liftgate is part of the so-called "GT Assistance Package" which is different than the "Rear Entertainment Package". I am in southern CA and I paid $9500 off the MSRP of $40467. This included $8500 dealer discount plus $1000 royalty rebate (believe it or not, I still own a 1992 Mazda 626!). I think the dealer discount came from the fact that there was a $4500 manufacturer-to-dealer cash for 2009 CX-9 which was expired on 11/30, and my car was apparently the dealer's last 2009 CX-9. Not sure what deals you can get now...

In Ohio, I'm being offered invoice on a FWD Touring with the bose and moonroof package, with the 1.9% APR financing deal. I'm not a current Mazda owner. MSRP is $34,477, out the door was something like 32,200 (several hundred for dealer fees). Doesn't include TTL Think that sounds good?

I emailed 11 dealers last Saturday. Had a few quotes by Sunday. Just closed deal and I am picking up new CX-9 on Friday. I requested best OTD price. I have found this to be the key to the best deal. The mistake I made...not asking if there is a fee for financing through Mazda. The dealers didn't include this fee in their OTD quotes. Just be aware of that. I had quotes of 500-1,000,00 to take their financing. Here is the deal I got.Moonroof/BosePower hatchRemote engine startBackup CameraSplash guards.MSRP $37,190.00Invoice $34,149.00TMV $35,395.00My OTD price...$33,800.00I know I got a great deal. Good luck.

I got a '10 awd touring with moonroof/bose AND power liftgate package, plus roof rack, remote start, all weather mats, cargo net, wheel locks, and stainless bumper guard for 35,600 OTD. (that's almost $1k in options plus the liftgate on top of what you were quoted)

Dunno what the Pearl White costs, but I think it's only a couple hundy.

Gonna repost this as a baseline for a great deal for all those still searching.....It took a week and about 100 emails to about 20 different dealers within 50 miles to get this price.

After agreeing on an OTD price via email, they added $25 in DMV fees when I got there, saying they couldn't account for the DMV pricing exactly. I told him we already agreed on an OTD price and they better recalculate it so it lands on what we discussed, or I was going to leave (over 25 bucks, lol!), and he took it off.

Purchased on 11/14/09 and loving it!! Just went back to get all the options installed on Tuesday.
